Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of IADC WellSharp. It covers the fracture gradients, kick tolerance and pore pressures; the casing, cementing and fluids program; the well control terminology and formation characteristics; the hydrostatic pressure, gradient, pump pressure and equivalent mud weights; the principle of U-tube; the capacities, displacements, strokes, formation stresses and strength; the maximum anticipated surface pressure and maximum allowable annular surface pressure (MAASP); the ballooning, gas behavior and tapered drill string; the functions and types of wellbore fluid; the potential contaminants and their effects; the causes of kicks; and the philosophy and operation of barrier systems. During this interactive course, participants will learn the shallow gas, water flows and top-hole drilling; the abnormal pressure warning signs; the well control drills comprising of pit, trip, stripping, choke, diverter and hang-off drills; the importance of early response, stop work authority and empowerment act; the kick detection; the shut-in procedures and verification; the post-shut-in monitoring and activities; and the change management during a well kill. link to course overview PDF
